Grid Walk Planned Prior to Le Mans Style Start!
Friday 29 March 2019
Plans are afoot to open the gates to the spectators for a very special grid walk immediately prior to the Benjafield 100 ‘Le Mans Start’ race, at Round 1 of the VSCC Formula Vintage Series at Silverstone on 13/14 April.
This will be the largest number of Vintage Bentleys ever in a single race, with 3 litre, 4½ litre, 6½ litre and 8 litre cars registered to race, it is unlikely that there will be this many on track again for some considerable time.
